The charge in the Bloomsbury "Repubi-
can" Of last week that the Sugsrloaf dele
gates to the Democratic convention were
detained at Orangeville for three or four
hours and that there the true return pap
ers were distracted and that fraudulent
one was made up and substituted, is base
falsehood. The whole article which allud-
ed TO the Sugarloaf returns Is malicious
lie made out of the whole cloth. l was
elected by the citizens as clerk at the dele
gate meeting and in the evening after the
tickets were counted and the SUNS total
for each candidate were carried out II was
found that G. H. Campbell had thirty-eight
votes and G. w. Sterner had thirty six
votes. The returns were true and correct
were never changed or altered at Orange
vile or any other place and were handed

out at the delegate meeting. did not see
the return paper at Orangeville neither did
see the other delegates at that place. Let
the "Republican" name his ''reilable
authority" and have him answer for his will
full and deliberate falsehood. Is it true
that the strong Imagination of a defeated
candidate conceived the idea Of fraud
which was nursed and matured by an op-
posite party until it grew into base fabri-
cation2 Can Democrat afford to join with
the opposite ranks in the diversion and
overthrow OF his own party9
z. l.. KuR.
We the undersigned citizens of Sugar
loaf township were present at the late
Democratic delegate meeting and saw the
return papers during the counting OF the
tickets and after the sums total carried out
for each candidate and we took copy of
the result from the return paper after the
sums total had been carried out. G. III.
Campbell had thirty-eight votes and G. w.
Sterner had thirty-six votes.
The article in the "Republican" OF last
week in reference to changing of the re-
turns is base lie. The returns as handed
in at the convention were the same as we
saw at the time the count was completed
and the polls closed.

MESS. EDs:-The Republican Of last week
surprised everybody by endeavoring to
create the impression that at the late Dem
ocratic delegate election In Sugarloaf town
ship there was fraudulent return.
The Republican should endeavor to get al
the facts before it publishes the imaginations
OF defeated candidates. The vote of Su
garloaf was honestly counted aud honestly
returned by honest Democrats, which thu
editor of the Republican could have easily
learned, II he wished to. But he grasps a
groudless rumors with great relish ant
speaks of the south Conyngham return a
fraudulent"
This assertion is false aud this same edi
tor who evlnces so much concern abou
Democratic politics (even though he was
prominent factor In the disgraceful pro
ceedings of the late Republican convention

THE SUGARLOAF VOTE.
THE CHARGE OF FRAUD COM
PLETEI.v REFUTED.

The Republican Of last week states "on
reliable authority that the returns OF Sugar
loaf were detained in Orangeville on Tues
day morning of the convention for three
or four hours, and that there the true re.
turn papers were distracted and that q
fraudulent one was made up and subsli
tuted and the whole result of the conven.
ton changed thereby; that this was secured
by the payment of two hundred dollars"
We ore able to say from our own knowl-
edge thst this story bears strong marks Of
improbabiity upon its face. The return
sheets were all printed at this Office, and
no one. from Sugarloaf or Orangeville had
duplicate sheet that could be filed uT
and substituted in the manner alleged.
The allegation that the whole result Of
the convention was changed thereby is cal
culated to shake confidence in the 'reliabil
ity" Of the Republicans informant. 1t did
not change the result OF single nomina
ton, and the only one that 1t was thought
might be effected by it was that of Register
& Recorder. The convention vote for Camp.
bell was 3S1 and Sterner had 34t. II the
Sugarloaf vote was reversed, giving Sternel
two delegates instead of Campbell the con
vention vote would have stood Campbell
By, Sterner, 351. Under the facts a sue
cessful effort could not have been mad,
to throw out the south Conyngham vote
which gave Campbell two delegates, bu
granting it could have been done, it would
have made a tie vote Of 35t, and under th,
rules Campbell would have been nomi
mated, having received majority of tn
popular vote. Moore's two votes, we ar
informed, would have been equally divided
We print below several cards from tn
persoos interested, and from all the evi
dence, direct or circumstantial, the charg
of corruption is entirely annihilated. TIL
"Republican" now must either substantial
its charge, or admit that its article was en-
tirely false.

The charge of the Bloomsbury "Repub.

Sugarloaf township to the late Democratic
convention is utterly untrue. 1t was with
reluctance that l accepted the position of
Judge Of Elections, after being chosen by
the Democratic citizens, who were present
at the delegate meeting. After the election
board was organized some of my friends
proposed to use my name for delegate. l
consented, and was elected When the
polls closed and the tickets were all counted
the sums total were carried out by the
clerk and g. II. Campbell received thirty
eight votes and G. w. Sterner received
thirty-six votes. The return paper was
then handed to me and 1 put it in my pocket,
and 1t was in my possession, and no one
saw it from Saturday evening of the dele
gate meeting, until 1t was taken from my
pocket on the morning of the convention
and handed to F. p. Billmeyer, at his office
in Bloomsbury. The result of the election
was announced to the bystanders on Satur-
day evening as soon as the tickets were all
counted, and it was understood by all that

DEWY EVE.

Written for the Rural Press by o h Taylor.l
Lazily the smoke doth rise,
Deep'ning shadows DER darkening skies;
The crimson west proclaims the night,
A rest for man from his daily fight.
Come, dewy eve, with golden ray,
True lovers turn to thee Away;
Thy mantle hides the blushing rose,
And blesses life with calm repose.
The storms of time now quiet down,
No angry thought nor troubled frown
A benson falls like an angels psalm,
AS evening sheds her holy calm.
Sweet hour of peace /! why fly away
To usher in the god of day
With all its troubles, stern and dire,
A crucible worse than reiner's fire
Oh stay, thou sacred dewy eve
'Tish heaven on earth why shouldst thou leave
Poor, wounded hearts to bleed and die,
Changing from soft to frowning sky?
Ever on earth this change must be,
From darkening night we cannot flee!
Eternal morn will come apace,
And rest will follow life's ftful race.

Bake in a moderate oven. Will make
one large loaf.
RYE CAKES.
Two cups soul milk; one egg, well
beaten; one teaspoonful of soda, dis
solved in boiling water; enough rye
meal for a batter that will spread cas-
lily on the griddle. Mix together the

water two or three times. Put it into
a saucepan with half a cup of boiling
water, and piece of butter size of an

Break two or three eggs into it and
serve hot.
PICKELED EGGS.
Boil some four or six dozen in a
capacious sauce pan until they become
quite hard. Then, after carefully re-
moving the shells, lay them in large
mouthed jars and pour over them scald-

pepper, allspice, a few races Of ginger

CHICKEN SALAD.
Mince the white meat Of a chicken

Rub the yolks of hard boiled eggs
smooth with a spoon; put to each yolk
one teaspoonful of made mustard,
half as much salt, a w~ineglassful of
strong vinegar and a tablespoonful of
the best olive oil. Put the celery in
a salad-bowl, lay the chicken on that,
then pour over it the dressing. Let
tuce cut small may be used in the
place of celery, but the latter is much
more delicious. Cut the white of the
egg in rings to garnish the salad.

Wheel grease and all other grease

soft soap is best. In cases of long

HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS.

To sweeten bitter yeast thrust into
it a red hot iron.
A spoonful Of oxgall to a gallon Of
water will set the colors of almost any
goods soaked in it previous to wash
ing.
A roasted or boiled lemon, filled
while hot with sugar, and eaten still
hot, just before retiring, will often
break up a cold.
To keep cake from sticking to the
pan, without using paper, after greas-
ing the pan, sift a little -four in, then
turn it over and shake out all that you
can.
To clean satin hat has become
greasy, sponge lengthwise, never
across the width, with benzine, alcohol
or borax water. Press on the wrong
side.
Put a small piece of charcoal into the
pot when boiling cabbage to prevent
the disagreeable odor that usually &C
companies the cooking Of this vege-
table.
1t is said hat white spots can be
removed from furniture by rubbing
with essence of camphor or pepper
mint, and afterwards with furniture

In cooking cabbage, put a small
piece of a red pepper into the pot. 1t
will not only improve the taste of the
vegetable, but prevents any harmful
result in the eating thereof.
Velvet wears better, if brushed
